For many years, Scott Patterson has been the “pin-up” auctioneer of Hawthorn and surrounds – well, according to the ladies we represent, he is. Scott is the “new face” of Jellis Craig. Our personal dealings with Scott have always been straightforward and, while we have had differences and probably will continue to [...]

It’s 6pm Saturday and the James Clearance Rate for million-dollar-plus auctions is 68 per cent on the 19 auctions we attended today.
In this week’s Market Wraps, we are most appreciative of the time and effort Scott Patterson of Jellis Craig (Boroondara), Iain Carmichael of Bennison Mackinnon (Stonnington) and David Hart of Buxton (Bayside) put [...]

Very strong in Boroondara again this week
Some highlights:
13 Celia St Glen Iris Paul Williamson of Jellis Craig: Land (641 sq metres) sold today for $1.301 million at auction. A few doors up at 45 Celia, and effectively its twin (675 sq per cent on land in this area in a few months? Well, these [...]

If you need to know something in his specific Boroondara area, then ring Hamish, as he almost always knows the answer. A conservative buyer quoter of homes and a big seller, Hamish is pleasant, friendly [...]

There is definitely more housing stock coming onto the off-market part of the market; however:
1. it’s not across all geographical markets and dollar market levels; and
2. it’s not necessarily the home you must buy; ie the price and quality is mixed.
Specific off-market properties that we have heard about, driven by, or looked [...]

Market News
